Subject: 23.0.91; set-face-attribute :height float on a Mac
Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2009 16:11:40 +0100

The following results in an error:

(set-face-attribute 'default nil :height 1.1)

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Invalid default face height" 1.1)
  internal-set-lisp-face-attribute(default :height 1.1 0)
  set-face-attribute(default nil :height 1.1)

I think it should not because the doc string says:

`:height'

VALUE must be either an integer specifying the height of the font to use
in 1/10 pt, a floating point number specifying the amount by which to
scale any underlying face, or a function, which is called with the old
height (from the underlying face), and should return the new height.

Either that, or the doc string must be improved. :)

I'm using Apple's Mac OS 10.3.9.
